My Approach to Helping

Premarital & Early Relationship Counseling + Guided conversations that will prepare you to build a healthy relationship to last a lifetime! + Finding your person is only the beginning—learning how to love your person is a lifelong endeavor. + If you are considering learning how to love better through couples counseling, I applaud your wisdom! I offer research based skill building and interactive dialogue on topics like conflict & communication, finances & household matters, sex & intimacy, bonding & friendship. We also go deeper into how to navigate differences, form a secure attachment, and address concerns that you may have.
After ten years of working with couples, I have created an engaging program of 12 sessions that is researched based and the best of modern thinking about relationships. After completing a comprehensive questionnaire we will decide together how to tailor the sessions to your unique needs.
This is a fun and meaningful process that will help you feel more confident and connected in your partnership! You will build on your strengths as a team and develop ways to impact your challenges. You will get a resource toolkit that contains what you learn in each session as well as suggestions for further exploration to keep you two growing together.

More Info About My Practice

I work with couples who are engaged, newlywed, or exploring commitment. I offer a proactive approach to relationship counseling that is structured and guided, however, I have the experience and skill to adapt to your needs and goals. Each session will provide you with a way to explore more about yourself and your partner as you are learning to master the art of loving well.

My Role as a Therapist

After over a decade of working with couples, I have the experience and skills to help you learn what you didn't know you needed to know! Most couples come to premarital or exploring commitment counseling not really sure what they should talk about. This is why my guided program makes sense! I have compiled what I think are the best ideas, skills, and tools for modern romantic relationships. You and your partner get to explore and grow together in collaboration with an experienced relationship therapist!
